Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 17 The common name is sweet potato, the scientific name is sweet potato, and the hometown dialect is taro.

"I'm hungry,"

Wang Ben came over and poked Chang Yu who was dozing off.

"Didn't you just finish your breakfast?"

Chang Yu originally wanted to sleep back into the cage, but he lost his mood after being messed up like this.

"I can't get enough of that stuff!"

Wang Ben, a big man, has a face full of grievances!

Huh!

Chang Yu couldn't help but shudder.

It wasn't long after morning exercise, and all the things were cleaned up, and Wang Ben didn't have anything to eat if he wanted to eat.

So, he wanted Chang Yu to make a copy for him, just make a copy.

What's up?

You're not too busy to dislike it so much!
If you don't do what you have hands and feet, you really think you are a general!

I don't care about him.

Just when Chang Yu lay down and wanted to close his eyes, Wang Ben stepped forward and said, "If you don't make me food, I will pester you and prevent you from sleeping!"

Chang Yu, who was annoyed, couldn't help it, and got up impatiently.

As it happens, there are sweet potatoes on the side.

He copied it casually and threw it to Wang Ben.

"Eat this."

Wang Ben grabbed the sweet potato and was a little puzzled: "Can this be eaten raw?"

When I first came to the island, I had eaten roasted sweet potatoes, and I knew it tasted very good.

But in my impression, raw ones are not edible, right?

"Eatable! Hurry up and go!"

Chang Yu stared impatiently.

"Do you dare to force me to try one more sentence!"

This kind of sweet potato is a genetically modified product, whether eaten raw or cooked, the taste is very good and not greasy.

Most of the time, I am too lazy to make hot food, so Chang Yu just gnaws on a few sweet potatoes, the taste is so old!
Wang Ben, who was so fierce, didn't say much, and ran away desperately grabbing the sweet potatoes. He didn't dare to offend Chang Yu so as not to have nothing to eat.

"Is this thing enough to eat?"

Wang Ben used fresh water to wash off all the mud on the surface of the sweet potatoes.

He looked at the red and hard sweet potato and fell into deep thought.

coo.

The stomach growled again.

Forget it, forget it!

Wang Ben grabbed the sweet potato and put it in his mouth.

Boom!

It looks hard, but is actually very brittle, and you can bite it off without using any force.

The taste has not yet come out, and I am chewing in my mouth with some anxiety.

After a while, sweet juice overflowed from the mouth!
So sweet!

So crisp!

Wang Ben was shocked, with an expression of disbelief on his face, the taste of raw food is even better than that of baked food!
"what are you eating?"

The First Emperor and Li Si were at the beach, and when they heard Wang Ben behind him, they found him crying and gnawing something.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Ben came back to his senses, and ran over with sweet potatoes in both hands.

"Try it!"

Looking at the sweet potato with big tooth marks, Shi Huang fell silent.

Li Si stood by and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with this thing? We already ate it a few days ago."

"That's not it!" Wang Ben retorted subconsciously, and then he came back to his senses and said: "A few days ago, it was cooked, but now it is raw. The taste of the two is completely different!"

"Is it?"

Li Si was dubious and curious.

Seeing that Emperor Shihuang couldn't make a mouthful, he took it and squeezed it, then put it in his mouth and bit it!
Boom!

A very crisp sound came out.

Li Si's eyes widened immediately.

"His Majesty!"

Pass it to the First Emperor.

There was still a crunching sound in his mouth.

The two ministers around him strongly recommended it. Even if Emperor Shihuang disliked Yayin, it would be hard to refuse.

Seeing that Li Si was as excited as Wang Ben, to be honest, Shi Huangdi was also curious about the taste of raw sweet potatoes.

Boom!

The moment he entered, Emperor Shi Huang's eyes widened.

Staring in disbelief at the sweet potato that had taken a few bites.

"What is this!"

"The common name is sweet potato, the scientific name is sweet potato, and the local dialect is taro."

Li Si repeated what Chang Yu said at the beginning with some excitement.

"I know, I'm asking, what is this!"

Emperor Shihuang had never eaten it, and had never even seen it before landing on the island.

This question made both Li Si and Wang Ben feel embarrassed.

They don't know what it is either.

I haven't heard of it at all, so don't mention answering it to Emperor Shi Huang.

There are many sweet potatoes on the desert island.

Just what Li Si and Wang Ben harvested yesterday, there are probably thousands of catties of sweet potatoes in the granary.

Judging from the land on the desert island, it should be impossible to grow food, but there is a good harvest of sweet potatoes.

It is obviously not a plant that is very picky about the land. If it can be grown in large quantities, the output will be very impressive just thinking about it!
You know, most of the Li people in Daqin are starving.

If this kind of sweet potato is introduced, it is believed that it can greatly change the living standards of the people at the bottom.

Shihuang and the three of them looked at each other.

Both can see joy in each other's eyes.

They have gained too much on the desert island.

Chang Yu surprises them almost every day!
If you can invite Chang Yu to Daqin.

The most fundamental food, etc., will be thoroughly improved.

Although they are still on a deserted island at the moment and do not expect to see any Daqin fleet, Shihuang and the others believe it.

Leaving the deserted island and returning to Daqin is only a matter of time.

After missing for so many days, there must be ministers in the Great Qin court who would doubt whether something happened.

The First Emperor was the supreme being of the Great Qin Dynasty, and he was also the absolute centralizer of the central army.

If an accident occurs, the top management will be alerted and a large army will be sent to search along the coast.

If you want to see people, if you want to see the dead, if you can't find the first emperor, you will never give up.

Li Si has studied ocean currents and sea wind changes these days.

In addition, the place where you encounter danger when going to sea is not far from the land.

I believe that if we wait a few more days, we will see Da Qin's fleet appear in the waters near the deserted island.

All they have to do is wait, wait patiently, and never give up on themselves.

"When we return to Daqin, I believe the food problem will be greatly improved."

"At that time, why worry about marching and fighting without food and grass with the army?"

There are no soldiers in the Qin army who are afraid of death.

Stimulated by the military merit exchange rewards proposed by Shang Yang's reform.

The soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty seemed to be on steroids one by one, wishing they could go out to fight every day.

When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, it sent out more than one million elite soldiers.

For such a large-scale battle, food and grass cannot be supplied.

There is not a grain of rice left in the treasury granary, and the mice are disgusted and moved away.

Fortunately, in the process of destroying the six countries, the other party's treasury had a lot of food in the granary to barely maintain it.

When he claimed to be the first emperor at the enthronement ceremony after ruling the six kingdoms, no one but a few ministers would have thought of it.

Why is it that for such a powerful Qin Dynasty, the treasury and granaries are so clean that there are no mice at all?

After these years of development, the treasury granary is still not filled with a lot of military rations, and it is still struggling to maintain the consumption of the Great Qin soldiers.

In addition, there is a great deal of construction now, the expansion of palaces, the construction of Chidao, and the construction of the Great Wall.

These all need captives, and they also need to eat and drink.

Although Daqin has millions of elite soldiers, it does not engage in labor.

It depends entirely on the poor people below.

The grain and grass planted have two harvest seasons throughout the year.

The output of the entire Daqin is added up, and it is only less than [-] catties.
